Aren't most software engineers already doing this?

Initially I was SDET, doing a bunch of boring JUnit work.

Then I wanted to get into video game industry while I was still young. Learned Microsoft Visual C++ along the way.

Then I got sick of the video game industry, the internet industry looks pretty cool, so I switched to it. Picked up PHP, Python, and Ruby all together at the same time.

Then I got sick of SysAdmin telling me what to do, so I learned a bunch of Linux skills and config management to become DevOps.

And I am kind of there now. I always fantasize of working on native mobile app, maybe one day I will make a switch again.
